For a new (to me) recipe, I will follow instructions as faithfully as I can the first time so I can see how it's "supposed" to taste. Any future repeats are likely to be heavily tweaked to suit my palate and preferences...

As far as recipes go, I wing it. I've always used them as a sort of guide. For instance, this coming weekend, I'ma do pork shoulder steaks in the slow cooker for the first time, and I'm mixing two different recipes from my slow cooker recipe book, one for the pork, and the veggies from a lamb shanks one. I'm sure it's going to be delicious.
